The Field List window will be displayed:
The field will be added to the Events entry screen:
The ‘Copy to Field’ field will be displayed:
The Field List window will be displayed again:

10. Enter the value to write in the ‘Value’ field
11. Click the ‘OK’ button
The event will be added to the Events list:
Acquire will restart and the event will then be activated.
Whenever the monitored value changes Acquire will write to the ‘Copy to Field’ field.
In this example if Scratchpad Variable 3555 changes then Acquire will write a “1″ to Scratchpad Variable 3501.
Tip: If the monitored field value needs to be copied to the field, use the “Copy Field” action instead of “Modbus Write”.
